Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Rainey Dawn It's been a long time since I have watched this film - all I remembered was that I liked it - then I re-watched the film recently and I have to say this really is a good dark comedy.Price is quite humorous as the drunken undertaker Waldo Trumbull along with his lock-picking side kick Felix Gillie played by Lorre. Price and Lorre prove to the viewers they are quite the comedy duo.Jameson plays Amaryllis Trumbull the wife of the staggering drunk Waldo. She will either have you laughing or irritated with her opera singing! Karloff has a way of stealing the scenes as Amos Hinchley. Karloff is quite good in this comedy - he proves he could have done comedy just as well as horror. A great performance by Karloff.And poor Mr. John F. Black he is a man that cannot die - I don't know to feel sorry for him being supposedly dead over and over or to feel happy for him that he is still alive. LOL -- Rathbone plays Black quite well.Yes if you like older dark comedies then you are sure to enjoy this film. For a fun double feature: I would recommend The Raven (1963) to watch with The Comedy of Terrors (1963)... both movies are dark comedies and star the threesome Price, Karloff and Lorre.9/10

Fahmid Hassan Prohor It's a horror comedy. Not really but a satire that takes place in the mid to late 19th century. Their time was so different than the 21st Century that creates a unique motion. Less horror, more comedy. The man who stole the show was no other than Vincent Price, from the Dr. Phibes fame. His dark humor realized me that he influenced some of the actors such as Robert Downey Jr. if I aren't wrong but no one can compare his 'Priceless' acting. The comedy was such that somebody could realize the definition of a 'pure black comedy'. Yes there are lots of movies out of it but this one gave me a real laughter than I have imagined. Most of the actors, the comic timing is given by Peter Lorre and Joyce Jameson. I wished it would have been a remake to suit more out of it. The story was really attractive as well as the characters even the dialogues. It had created a realistic statement (literally). Even it is film from the 1960s but a versatility is always a mark of this movie. Hat's off to the renowned Vincent Price- The Legend . 7/10

ma-cortes Fun horror /comedy with an exceptional quartet who provides much fun : Price , Karloff , Lorre and Rathbone . Amusing , delightful film produced by American International , James H. Nicholson-Samuel Z. Arkoff , with a monumental team of terror all-star-cast as Price , Lorre and Karloff . This supreme adventure in terror and humor based on the novel and screenplay by Richard Matheson deals with two deranged undertakers (Vincent Price and Peter Lorre) who take bad ways to insuring their continued employment , a Funeral Parlor called ¨Wichley and Trumbull¨. A lugubrious undertaker who hasn't had any customers in a long time is obligated the pay one year's back-rent by his landlord (Basil Rathbone) . Then the wickedest undertaker Waldo Trumbull and his unfortunate , frog-like associated named Felix Gillie to get money and both of whom begin killing people in order to get new clients . The couple goes to a mansion in Winkle Road inhabited by an old man and carry out their objective . There also appears Price's chalk-white father-in-law (Boris Karloff) aged about 90 , but refusing to die and leave Waldo the Funeral Parlor . Trade is so bad that Waldo and his underling have to go out and boost business by killing his immortal landlord . It gets funnier when our two friends pitting wills against the relieved landlord . And the end takes place a funny duel between Price and Rathbone.This is more of a satire than a true terror movie , it is immaculately staged , stylishly realized , very literate , rich in atmosphere , confidently made and plenty of eye-popping scenes . May be one of the most successful terror farce ever realized with a considerable all-star-cast and original invention . Terror has strangely been more skillfully spoofed than in this agreeable horror/comedy Jacques Tourneur directed and realized in glorious fashion . The movie is realized in the same style to the successful adaptation Edgar Allen Poe series , the cycle of ¨Tales of Terror¨ , and especially ¨The Raven¨ also with the trio Price,Lorre,Karloff directed by Roger Corman and produced by James H Nicholson and Samuel Z Arkoff . For that reason packs usual Corman's striking scenarios including lugubrious mansions , colorful atmosphere , shrieks come from gloomy coffins and gleeful gallery of ghoulishness . Glimmer cinematography in magnificence color by the series usual , Floyd Crosby . Frightening and atmospheric musical score fitting to humor and horror by Les Baxter .The flick based on Richard Matheson's screenplay playing to the spectator in amusing fashion . In spite of his poverty-budget horror is deemed a minor cult and gave enough profit from minimal inversion . The motion picture is produced by American International (James H Nicholson , Samuel Z. Arkoff) in a low budget and well directed by the classic director Jacques Tourneur in his final feature along with 'Curse of the demon' . He was an expert on terror cinema (Cat people , Curse of the demon , I walked with a Zombie , Leopard man) and adventures (Martin the Gaucho , Flame and the arrow , The pirate woman , City under the sea) . Despite the excessive satire most children and adults will like this enormously fun film . 'Comedy of terrors' is a sensational black comedy that maintains its classicism and reaching impressive dimensions . It will appeal to youngsters and adults who swallow whole and sit convulsed in their armchair and of course Vincent Price , Karloff , Lorre fans.

TheLittleSongbird The cast are the high point of this interesting and fun little film. Vincent Price steals the show and is brilliant, and he is supported wonderfully by Peter Lorre whose character spends a lot of time being demeaned by Price and Basil Rathbone, who is a very suave and charismatic actor and his "what place...is THIS?!" is iconic. I was a little disappointed in Boris Karloff, I love him, I liked his character, I liked what he did with it, what let me down in regards to him is that I would have loved to have seen much more of him. My only other complaint is the short length which probably accounts for why the ending was as hectic as it was, otherwise this is a very good film. The cast of course are wonderful, but there is also a deliciously witty and bleak script, a fun story, skillful photography, nice minimalist production values, efficient direction from Tourneur and an interesting sending up of past horror clichés. All in all, I like this film. 8/10 Bethany Cox
